lyrics

I was lost and blind till a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
And he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
Now I feel so blessed 'cause he gave me rest
I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be like him, yes that's my goal
Like the rock that doesn't roll

Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
You know he's good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road so far from home
When my future touched my past
Now I feel so good just like I knew I would
He make everybody feel so good, so good
I wanna wowie zowie well the cat's got soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
You know he's good for the body and he's great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

Ow ooh

I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
You know I was on the road so far from home
When the future touched my past
You know he gets the rest to feel so blessed you know
I feel like I, I've finally passed the test
I wanna be like him, yes that's my goal
Like the rock that doesn't roll

Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
You know he's good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't
Rock that

You've got to rock me on the water
You've got to rock me in my grave
You've got to rock me till I'm feeling good
You've got to rock me till I'm, rock me till I'm saved

I wanna tell you
He's the rock that doesn't roll
You know he's good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

I wanna tell you
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
You know he's good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
